Disclaimer - I do not work for Oracle, but have been working for a busy Oracle partner the last 6 years. This has got to be the slowest May I've ever had in those 6 years. The usual 5 meetings a day during this time of year seemed to have vanished...

"Oracle exadata still kicking butt and growing. Busiest quarter since q2 2017. ZFS, zdlra and exa continue to dominate and grow in market share."
now, THAT's a fake news. a would say not even fake, but completely false. or maybe just an hope.
exa is struggling to reach 60% of the Q4 quota, a little better in FY closing projection but still lacking the target by a large amount. and this is for both exa and exacc. I'm already seeing financial "correction" to put in exa numbers some unsolicited ULA boxes....... that will remain boxed for months in customers' premises (and in some cases even in partner's storehouse).....
zfssa is even worse.
zdlra is instead showing a decent YoY ramp up, but numbers are so small that it's just noise in the overall scenario.
unfortunately Oracle has abandoned onprem HW business, that's the sad reality.
so true !
"Oracle exadata still kicking butt and growing. Busiest quarter..."
I love it when the Russian Office checks into this board. Funniest stuff since Baghdad Bob.
"Oracle exadata still kicking butt and growing. Busiest quarter since q2 2017. ZFS, zdlra and exa continue to dominate and grow in market share."
b---s---. qtd global exa bookings less than half of projections. same with zdlra. zfs is even worse.
Oracle exadata still kicking butt and growing. Busiest quarter since q2 2017. ZFS, zdlra and exa continue to dominate and grow in market share. Oracle has exec issues, I say as an investor, but the vision and leadership of the non-hp, non-emc and any other tag along until retirement will supersede the quote,quota monkeys that come from all the has-been companies.
@T4LsHhG-ktc I dont know if you've ever closed an Oracle deal but there is absolutely nothing autonomous about the process. Every step requires hand holding and thousands of eyes from different sectors of business.
When you take away incentive for reps to sell on-prem then this is what happens. The cloud products are not good enough to stand on their own two feet. So they lose the expensive yet experienced sales veterans who know how to bring big deals in - the ones you can count on in your forecast. They then replace them with kids out of college working the phones. No wonder those $20 million dollars deals aren't coming in - because you don't know how to sell. They aren't any better sales people than MH is a a CEO. It's all a big terrible joke. It's sad but Oracle is now IBM. GR over @ IBM also has no clue what she is doing.
same internally. never seen so many people in the offices. and never seen so few POs entering. I hope the last week will be an explosion of orders, otherwise this Q4 will be a bloodletting. last I have seen is we are less than 40% of the Q4 budget, and a closing forecast of 60%
worst 'bench rate' in oracle consulting in years...and none of the big pay-check fat managers
say a word..about anything...
LOL !
That is because the deals as autonomous and don't require human intervention.
Cloud washing drying up and the regulators are coming in hot.
